I recently came across your gridded PM2.5 dataset for the United States, available in NetCDF format. This appears to be an incredibly valuable dataset for research. As I seek to conduct econometric analysis on pollution impacts, having the data in Stata format would significantly facilitate my work. Annual and monthly datasets are provided in NetCDF [.nc] format
Data is uploaded on a public website [ https://sites.wustl.edu/acag/datasets/surface-pm2-5/ ]
I noticed in the documentation that the data creator developed an R script to convert NetCDF data to Geotiff raster files. I was wondering - would it be possible to modify this conversion approach to output datasets compatible with Stata (e.g. .dta files), rather than Geotiff?
If anyone has any suggestions for how I may transform the PM2.5 NetCDF data into analysis-ready .dta panel data usable in Stata, I would tremendously appreciate your guidance.
